"She can live her life. She can go jogging in Hyde Park and no one's following her, and she's able to work and focus... She's just happy... She's doing so well... She's dating, but I won't say who." Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina admits her daughter is loving life in London.

Janelle Monae, Kiesza, Nile Rodgers and former Red Hot Chili Peppers star John Frusciante have been confirmed as guests on Duran Duran's new album. The band has signed a new deal with Warner Bros. and their first album with the label - the group's 14th - will be a star-studded affair.
The follow-up to 2010's All You Need Is Now will also feature contributions from producer/hitmaker Mark Ronson and Mr. Hudson.
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan, who posted a photo of herself with the 1980s group in the recording studio last year (14), will reportedly feature on a track with her sister Ali.
Insiders suggest the actress recorded a spoken word segment for one of the new album's tracks.

The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber airs Monday, March 30, and we can’t wait to see the Biebs knocked down a peg or two. It got us thinking about who we’d like to see roasted next. Candidates ripe for the picking include any celeb who takes himself or herself way too seriously, appears to have no sense of humor and/or has done some ridiculous things in the past. Here are some suggestions:
1. Kanye West

The roasters would have a field day with this one. Can’t say Kanye would be too amused, though.
2. Kim Kardashian
GIPHY
Can they do a joint roast with Kim and Kanye? Because that would be amazing.
3. Shia LaBeouf
GIPHY
He’s a little eccentric and he's been taking himself a little too seriously lately.
4. Anne Hathaway
GIPHY
Remember when people stopped liking her? Granted this roast would have made more sense about two years ago, but we still think people would tune in to see Anne get ragged on.
5. Lindsay Lohan
GIPHY
We feel like she’d agree to it simply because it was offered to her and she takes what she can get these days.
6. Leonardo DiCaprio
GIPHY
We anticipate his lack of Oscar being a recurring joke.
7. John Mayer
GIPHY
We think Taylor Swift should be the Roast Master.
8. Justin Timberlake
GIPHY
Just 'cause you know he'd be a good sport about it.
9. Jay Leno
GIPHY
Something tells us A LOT of comedians would love the chance to publicly insult Jay.
10. Tom Cruise
GIPHY
How has no one roasted Tom Cruise yet? Are they afraid of the wrath of Scientology or something?
Who do YOU think should get roasted next? Tell us on Twitter!

Pop star Ariana Grande showed off her impression of Celine Dion during an appearance on America's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday (20Mar15) as she joined the host in a rendition of Beauty and the Beast. The singer/actress also took part in the programme's popular Ew! comedy sketch, in which Fallon and his guest play dorky teenage girls. Taylor Swift and Lindsay Lohan have both previously featured in the segment.

Actress Lindsay Lohan failed to show up for a charity painting project in London on Wednesday (18Mar15) because she was too busy carrying out her court-ordered community service. The Mean Girls star fell foul of authorities in Los Angeles in February (15) when it emerged that the 240 hours of volunteer work she completed included meet-and-greet sessions with fans.
A judge ruled more than half of the work did not qualify as legitimate community service and she was told to carry out a further 125 hours in London, where she is now based.
On Wednesday, she was scheduled to join artist Domingo Zapata at the U.K. capital's Piccadilly Circus tourist hotspot to create a series of new paintings, which would be auctioned off in aid of a charity for victims of child abuse.
However, Lohan did not show up for the event, and a spokeswoman for the actress tells WENN, "She was at her community service."
The punishment is part of Lohan's sentence relating to a 2012 reckless driving case.

A California judge has set new limits on Lindsay Lohan's court-ordered community service, capping the hours of work she does per day.
Last month (Feb15), prosecutors questioned the legitimacy of the Mean Girls actress' tasks after she rushed to clock up 240 hours of volunteer work by January (15) as part of her sentence relating to a 2012 reckless driving case. She claimed to have worked with Britain's Community Service Volunteers (CSV) organisation while she was living in London and starring in a West End play, but prosecutor Terry White discovered her log included hours for meet-and-greet sessions with fans and time during which she allowed youngsters to shadow her while at the theatre.
As a result, Lohan was ordered to undergo another 125 hours of community service after the Los Angeles judge rejected more than half of the work she had completed. On Wednesday (11Mar15), White limited the actress to a maximum of four hours of community service in one session, as opposed to the six hours per day she previously clocked, according to TMZ.com. Lohan was not present for the hearing, but her attorney Shawn Holley attended. White also stated that he spoke to CSV bosses in London, and gave the go ahead to continue monitoring Lohan's hours as she continues to reside in England.

Lindsay Lohan is among the stars who have stepped up to defend Madonna after footage of the singer's stage fall at the BRIT Awards became an Internet sensation. The pop legend returned to the awards show in London on Wednesday night (25Feb15) to mark her first performance at the prizegiving in 20 years, but her big comeback was ruined by a nasty accident onstage.
Madonna appeared unable to remove the long black cloak she was wearing as she climbed a set of steps, and when a backing dancer attempted to tug the garment away, the singer was pulled down the stairs and she tumbled backwards onto the floor.
Social media was subsequently swamped with footage of the incident, as well as jokes and comments about Madonna's spectacular tumble, and it became a trending topic on Twitter.
A number of stars have since waded into the debate, with Mean Girls actress Lohan defending the Holiday hitmaker in a post on Twitter.com, writing, "She wore a cape for a reason! Much love to @Madonna #superwoman #boss #heroine #livingforlove (sic)."
Culture Club star Boy George also applauded Madonna's bravery, writing, "Madonna was a trouper. That was a hard fall but she got on with it! All these comments about being old. So lame! Old is gold," and singer Adam Lambert added, "Great performance Madonna! You are a true professional and a legend. 'Watched me Stumble... I'm gonna carry on!' #livingforlove."
However, other stars were not so kind - TV host Piers Morgan, who has been embroiled in a long-running fued with Madonna, wrote, "Ambulance for Granny, please. #Madonna.. Still laughing..." while singer/songwriter Diane Warren added, "I think one thing Madonna won't b (be) taking with her when she leaves the U.K. is her dancers..."
Representatives of the Broadway production of The Phantom Of The Opera also reached out to Madonna to offer advice on how to wear capes, as the show's main character has successfully sported one for years without incident. A post on the show's official Twitter account reads, "We're glad to hear that you're not hurt Madonna. In the future, let us know if you want help with capes. They are rather finicky."
However, Madonna appeared to have the last laugh because in the hours after the stage spill, the song she performed, Living For Love, shot to the top of the iTunes chart in the U.K.

Lindsay Lohan's legal battle over her fashion app is heading to trial. The Mean Girls star and her younger brother, Michael, Jr., have been hit with a $60 million (£37.5 million) lawsuit from a businessman named Fima Potik, who claims the siblings stole the idea for their Vigme program from a previous project they worked on with him called Spotted Friend.
Last year (14), a judge issued a restraining order banning Lohan and her brother from working on the app or promoting it, and the case went back to court in New York on Wednesday (25Feb15).
During the hearing, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Saliann Scarpulla set a trial date for next winter (15), and Lohan's brother vowed to fight the case, telling the New York Post, "I have full faith in the justice system."
The restraining order has been extended.

Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to undergo another 125 hours of community service after a Los Angeles judge rejected more than half of the work she allegedly completed during her stay in London. Prosecutors questioned the legitimacy of the Mean Girls actress' tasks after she rushed to clock up 240 hours of volunteer work by January (15) as part of her sentence relating to a 2012 reckless driving case.
She claimed to have worked with Britain's Community Service Volunteers (CSV) organisation while she was living in London and starring in a West End play, but prosecutor Terry White discovered her log included hours for meet-and-greet sessions with fans and time during which she allowed youngsters to shadow her while at the theatre.
White outlined his findings in a hearing in the judge's private chambers on Wednesday (25Feb15), when the court official sided with authorities, calling Lohan's work "unacceptable".
Prosecutors had reportedly been pushing for the judge to revoke Lohan's probation, but he simply demanded she re-do a chunk of the community service, according to TMZ.com.

Taylor Swift and Lindsay Lohan were among the stars who turned out to support model Karlie Kloss as she staged a funfair-themed charity event in London this week (beg23Feb15). Kloss co-hosted the World's First Fabulous Fun Fair benefit with fellow model Natalia Vodianova at the Roundhouse venue in the British capital on Tuesday night (24Feb15), and the pair attracted a star-studded guest list.
Swift turned out to support her best friend, while other attendees included actress Lohan, pop star Ellie Goulding, DJ Calvin Harris and supermodel Eva Herzigova.
Guests were treated to candy floss, cookies and cocktails, while the event also featured a Helter Skelter ride, face-painting, magic tricks from illusionist Dynamo and performances from Clean Bandit and The Disciples.
The event raised more than $480,000 (£300,000) for the Naked Heart Foundation, an organisation which helps children with special needs.

Summary

When it came time to locate the proper actress for the coveted role of identical twins in a remake of Disney's Hayley Mills classic "The Parent Trap" (1961), an exhaustive casting search occurred around the world. After three callbacks and one screen test, freckle-faced Long Islander Lindsay Lohan won the role. Although just 11 years old when cast, it would be her affiliation with Disney that would make her a household name amongst the teen set, particularly young girls who followed the actress/pop singer's every move. As the tomboy redhead grew into a curvy, beautiful teenager, she continued to impress critics with her work in the family films "Freaky Friday" (2003) and "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" (2004), but it was apparent the talented girl was about to outgrow her mouse ears. With the release of Tina Fey's dark comedy, "Mean Girls" (2004), Lohan's fame catapulted to a new level of mainstream recognition. Her effervescent, no-holds-barred performance in the instant classic made her the star of the moment that year. However, at the peak of her fame, inevitable dramas began to unfold - mysterious hospitalizations, drastic weight loss, public break-ups with famous boyfriends, occasional fender-benders and reported bad behavior on set - all of which caused a shift in perception. Things went from bad to worse following several arrests for DUIs and even a carjacking incident which left even her most vehement supporters scratching their heads. Like many fallen child stars before her - a la Corey Haim, Drew Barrymore and countless others - her off-set behavior began affecting her ability to secure work. But drug arrests, paparazzi photos of a seemingly inebriated Lohan, and a public battle in the press with her family cast a dramatic pall over a once promising career, causing friends, family and fans to eventually fear not only for her career, but for her life.

Education

Name

Notes

"I'll probably pursue doing more movies, but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing." – Lohan quoted in Daily News, July 22, 1998

Lohan was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People for 2004.

"I'm 17. I'm learning, and I'd rather make my own mistakes and learn from them than have to be sheltered my whole life." – Lohan on her reputation in the media to People, May 24, 2004

"I feel like a lot of the time the tabloids build you up just to take you down. I think it's because I'm 18, and I could go off the deep end, and they could make up rumors about me doing drugs and going crazy and never acting again. Or I could prove myself and mature into an actor." – Lohan quoted to GQ, October 2004

"In a way I think it's cool that people want to know about me. But in another it's weird because they don't get the full story anyway." – Lohan to Movieline's Hollywood life, May/June 2005

In the February 2006 issue of Vanity Fair, Lohan confessed that she experimented with drugs and struggled with bulimia. Lohan was quoted saying, "I was sick... I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself.'"

"It's not that it's harder for me, but I work harder than most of my friends' parents, I think. I'm the hardest working person I know." – Lohan to Matt Lauer on the "Today" show, May 8, 2006

In July 2006, Lohan was taken to a hospital while shooting Georgia Rule, complaining that she was "overheated and dehydrated." Morgan Creek Productions CEO James G. Robinson had a letter delivered to Lohan in which he accused her of "all night heavy partying" and making up "bogus excuses," and threatened to take action to recover any "monetary damages".

In December 2006, People magazine reported that Lohan was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in Los Angeles. Her publicist Leslie Sloane said, "Yes, she's been attending some meetings, and it's going to be a slow process. This is a positive. Let's hope that the press doesn't turn it into a negative."

On Jan. 17, 2007, Lohan checked into the Wonderland Center, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. Lohan released the following statement through her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick: "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."

On May 26, 2007, Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after her convertible struck a curb in Beverly Hills. The actress and two other people were riding in her 2005 Mercedes, when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m. Officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine.

On May 29, 2007, Lohan checked into Promises Treatment Center in Malibu, California.

On July 19, 2007, Lohan surrendered at the Beverly Hills Police Department to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with the Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash that sent her into rehab. Lohan also faces a misdemeanor charge of hit and run.

In the early morning hours of July 24, 2007, Lohan was arrested on five charges - including drunken driving, driving on a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance, which was later determined to be cocaine. Santa Monica Police received a call at 1:34 a.m. of a car chase involving two vehicles. Police later found the vehicles in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Civic Center. It turned out that Lindsay Lohan was chasing a Cadillac Escalade driven by the mother of her personal assistant, who had quit her employment earlier in the evening.

Lohan entered the Cirque Lodge alcohol rehab in Sundance, Utah following her second drunk-driving arrest in three months in July 2007. This is the third rehab facility Lohan has checked into this year after stints at Wonderland and Promises in California.

On Aug. 22, 2007, Lohan accepted a plea deal steming from two separate DUI incidents, one in May in Beverly Hills and one in July in Santa Monica. The actress pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine and pleaded no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher and reckless driving. Lohan will spend one day in jail, serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug treatment program. She will also be placed on 36 months probation, is required to complete an 18-month alcohol education program, pay hundreds of dollars in fines and must complete a three-day county coroner program in which she'll visit a morgue and talk to victims of drunken drivers.

On Nov. 15, 2007, Lindsay Lohan served just 84 minutes in a detention center, for her previous drunk driving offense. Lohan, turned herself in to the Los Angeles County women's detention center in Lynwood at 10:30 a.m. She was searched, fingerprinted and placed in a holding cell in the inmate reception area and then released at 11:54 a.m.

"I never really thought about women before, it kind of just happened with Samantha. It surprised me. If I wasn't with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She's the only woman I've been attracted to. We love each other." – Lohan on her relationship with celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson, to The Sun magazine, February 2010

On May 20, 2010, a bench warrant was issued for Lohan's arrest after she failed to attend her probation progress hearing in Los Angeles. The judge also expressed concern that the actress had also not properly attended her alcohol education classes as part of her three-year probation from a 2007 guilty plea for driving under the influence of alcohol and cocaine and reckless driving. Bail was set at $100,000 and random weekly drug testing and a mandatory alcohol monitoring bracelet were ordered. The actress, who was in France for the Cannes Film Festival, claimed to have lost her passport.

On July 6, 2010, Lohan was found in violation of her DUI probation and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, followed by a 90-day stay in an in-house treatment program. On July 20, Lohan surrendered in Judge Marsha Revel's courtroom in Beverly Hills, CA to begin her jail sentence. She was taken to the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, CA - the same facility where she served 84 minutes jail time in November 2007 - and was booked into custody at 10:11 a.m. Lohan was released on Aug. 2, 2010, after serving only 13 days of her 90-day sentence. Her early release was due to jail overcrowding. The actress was picked up by the staff from UCLA Medical Center, where Lohan served the rehabilitation part of her sentence. She was released from her court-ordered rehabilitation on Aug. 24, 2010.

"I want my career back. I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress...And I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible – but that’s what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes." – Lohan quoted in Vanity Fair, September 2010

On Sept. 24, 2010, Lohan was ordered back to jail after violating her parole by failing a drug test. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox denied the actress bail and ordered her to remain in custody until another hearing set for Oct. 22. Lohan was later released from jail when another judge granted her bail on the grounds that she had only committed misdemeanors. On Oct. 22, Lohan was sent back to rehab until at least Jan. 3 after she made a written plea to a judge for more treatment, instead of getting sent back to jail.

On Feb. 8, 2011, Lohan entered a plea of not guilty in a felony grand theft charge that prosecutors filed over a $2,500 necklace reported stolen from an upscale jewelry store in Venice, CA. Judge Keith Schwartz set her bail at $20,000 and warned, "If you violate the law, I will remand you and there will be no bail." The judge also revoked Lohan's probation in the previous DUI case and set bail at $20,000, totaling $40,000.

On May 11, 2011, Lohan was sentenced to four months in jail after her lawyer entered a no contest plea on behalf of the actress to a reduced misdemeanor theft charge. On May 26, Lohan was fitted with an ankle monitor tracking her movements and she was placed under house arrest where she was expected to serve about 14–35 days of her sentence. On Oct. 18, 2011, Lohan was taken into custody again after Judge Stephanie Sautner in L.A. revoked her probation, pending a hearing, in her 2007 DUI and 2011 theft cases. Lohan posted $100,000 bail. She returned for a hearing on Nov. 2, 2011 and admitted to violating her probation. Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lohan to surrender by Nov. 9 and begin serving 30 days at Los Angeles County Jail without eligibility for house arrest or early release. Her probation was be reinstated after her 30 day jail sentence. The judge gave Lohan a strict schedule on completing the rest of her probation. Everything must be completed by March 29, 2011 or she goes directly to jail for 270 days. Lohan checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA on Nov. 6, 2011 to begin serving her 30 day jail sentence. She was released from jail four-and-a-half hours later.

In June 2011, Lohan failed an alcohol test while still under house arrest and was ordered to go before the judge for a probation violation hearing on June 23, 2011. But the judge did not send Lohan to jail, finding that court-ordered drug and alcohol testing had ended in February. Lohan was instead ordered to stop throwing parties at her Venice condo while under house arrest and to limit the number of visitors to one friend at a time.

In August 2011, Lohan sued rapper Pitbull, and his collaborators Ne-Yo and Afrojack, for the song "Give Me Everything," which includes the line "I got locked up like Lindsay Lohan." The actress claimed the lyrics use her name without her consent and are defamatory. Pitbull responded by openly inviting Lohan on his Web site to attend the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, where he performed the song live. On Feb. 21, 2013, a judge dismissed the case in favor of Pitbull and explained the song was protected by the First Amendment.

In October 2011, it was announced that Lohan posed for a Playboy magazine spread for a reported $1 million.

On March 29, 2012, Judge Stephanie Sautner took Lohan off probation from the 2007 DUI case. She also turned the actress' formal probation for the 2011 necklace heist case into an informal probation, which meant that she did not have to return to court as long as she obeyed all laws for the next two and half years.

"Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people I admire and would have followed through with it more, but my stubbornness at 18 and 19 got in the way." – Lohan in her Playboy magazine cover pictorial, January/February 2012

Lohan was arrested on Nov. 29, 2012 for allegedly punching a woman in a New York City nightclub. That same day, the actress was charged with three other crimes on the West Coast, in connection with a car accident from June 2012 that occurred on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, CA. In December, her probation was revoked due to the charges filed against her in relation to the car accident, with sentencing set for January 2013. She entered a plea deal on March 18, 2013 and was sentenced to 30 days of community labor and undergo psychotherapy for 18 months.

In December 2012, the IRS seized all of Lohan's bank accounts in order to repay an outstanding debt. The actress reportedly owed $233,904 in unpaid federal taxes for 2009 and 2010. Fellow actor Charlie Sheen gave Lohan $100,000 to help with her tax problems, but it was still not enough to cover her massive debt. She reportedly paid off her 2009 tax lien later that month, but still owed the IRS for 2010 and 2011.
